HAMLIN
A backwater artist conclave that vanished mysteriously a scant 40 megapargs after it was established, just after Rex Tiborg's departure. The only clues left to the fate of the conclave are the mosaic plinths left behind. Hamlin is at [47.5921 N, 122.3175 W].

Harmony Day
Harmony Day is the largest festival among the Cess species on Pilarvane. The Cess celebrate by drinking, dancing, and killing off anyone who doesn't appear to be doing the same. Thus, we recommend either avoiding Pilarvane at this time, or building an appropriate delay into your route. The latter can be difficult, since Harmony Day occasionally lasts three or more weeks depending on the whim of the Cess leader. This has in the past led to assassinations of previous leaders when the business community of Cess has deemed that the festivities have gone on long enough.

Cantina on the Outer Rim where live animals are cruelly used for sport. Many a poor Brunswick has had its insides torn apart due to high G-Force impact.

Horst Wiffle
Horst Wiffle has the most famous sneeze in the galaxy. Actually, he has about fifty of the most famous sneezes, which he performs weekly at the Worschtenfurstichir Opera House on Vast. His repertoire includes loud, honking sneezes; cute, childlike sneezes; amorous sneezes; the sneeze of stepping into bright sunlight; the underwater sneeze; the sneeze of boredom; the sneeze of the gods; the sneeze of the damned; the sneeze that anticipated the Canary Incident; the sneeze of a small shrub; the sneeze within a sneeze; the sneeze when no one's around to hear it; the sneeze that breaks the mood; and the courtesy sneeze. He finishes with his famous double false alarm, can't find my keys, just thought of an ending for my novel while drinking a glass of water sneeze.

hypercoke
Insanely addictive narcotic of the Imogene Coca plant, a genetically engineered strain used primarily in the production of Your Drink of Drinks carbonated beverage. While mild paranoia can be a healthy Mooncurser trait, excessive hypercoke use--and sooner or later, all hypercoke use becomes excessive--is bad for business. It's hard to talk your way past a customs agent when your first officer is clawing his own eyes out because "they're always watching!"
